Deks Olje #1 Saturating Wood Protector
Deks Olje #2 Clear
Gloss Finish
Exceptional appearance and easy maintenance wood
finish for the marine environment.
(pronounced "Decks Olya")
What does it do?
Is owning your boat a love/hate
relationship because of the work involved in keeping it looking
good? It doesn't have to be. Stripping back to bare wood after only
a few seasons isn't necessary when you use Deks Olje Marine Wood
Finish.
When properly applied, Deks Olje is easier to care
for than any other finish on the market. Its powerful penetrating
oils go far beneath the surface. Other finishes deteriorate because
water gets beneath the surface. THIS CAN'T HAPPEN WITH DEKS
OLJE.
Deks Olje weathers, but does not lift. So seasonal
touch-up is easy. Recovery is like new. You also have the option of
a matte or gloss finish.
The secret of success is in
following the unique application instructions. Don't confuse Deks
Olje with conventional teak oils or varnish. It is
neither.
Deks Olje #1 Matte Finish and Deks Olje #2 gloss
Finish both provide years of service with no stripping back to bare
wood.
| Two teak panels were exposed to the same marine
conditions of sun, wind and water for the same length of time.
One was treated with top quality teak oil and varnish, the
other with Deks Olje #1 and #2. These unretouched photos show
the result. The Deks Olje treated panel still looks fresh and
new. The teak has neither darkened nor has the finish cracked
and pitted as in the panel treated with teak oil and
varnish. |

Type of Finish
Deks Olje is the
easiest to maintain finish afloat for teak and other boating woods.
Deks Olje is availble in a matte (Deks Olje#l) or gloss (Deks
Olje#2) finish and both will give years of service with NO STRIPPING
back to bare wood. Touch-up applications on worn spots are all
that's necessary to maintain this finish. Even if wood is badly
neglected, a good cleaning with Dekswood and a reapplication will
restore the original brightness of the finish. The fantastic
recovery power of Deks Olje has been put to the test for more than
50years in Scandinavia.
Timber left untreated in a
marine environment such as this teak companionway hatch will become
grey and unslightly. The wood grains attract dirt and mildew and
spoil the appearance and quality of the boat.
Regular
applications of Deks Olje will give wood surfaces a deep rich colour
that stands up to the harsh marine environment and protects your
valuable asset.
DEKS OLJE #1 - DIRECTIONS
Surface
Preparation - Old Wood
| · |
Remove
old finish completely. |
| · |
Neutralize any strippers or bleaches and lightly sand
surface. |
Surface Preparation -
New Wood
| · |
Lightly
sand wood. |
| · |
Remove
oils from wood with a liberal application of Dekswood or
Methylated Spirit. |
| · |
Lightly
sand wood again. |
Application
| · |
Apply by
brush or roller. A foam brush can be used on small
surfaces. |
| · |
Apply one
coat every fifteen minutes. As one coat is absorbed, apply
another. Do not allow to dry between coats. |
| · |
When the
surface can absorb no more, brush the material several times.
If it still stands on the surface, wipe up all excess with a
rag which is slightly damp with Deks Olje #1. If it does not
stand on the surface after brushing, apply more Deks Olje
#1. |
| · |
When no
more can be absorbed, wipe up all excess as described in step
3. You are now finished with Deks Olje #I. |
| · |
A proper
Deks Olje #1 application should require many coats over at
least a six-hour time period. |
| · |
Allow
three days before putting into service or finishing with Deks
Olje #2. |
Maintenance
| · |
Wash all
dirty surfaces with Dekswood, rinse and allow to
dry. |
| · |
Lightly
sand worn or abraded areas. |
| · |
Apply one
or two coats of Deks Olje #1 to affected areas. |
| · |
Between
touch-ups, wash Deks Olje #1 treated surfaces as often as
possible with fresh water. |
| · |
NO NEED
to remove the original Deks Oije
#1. |
NOTE: If the
surface looks mottled or splotchy after cleaning and sanding, Deks
Olje #1 will still restore the appearance, but a few coats may be
needed on the driest areas. Again, do not leave any Deks Oije #1
puddled on the surface.
Coverage
Depends on the
porosity of the wood surface. Coverage on very porous wood could be
as low as 2 square metres per litre.
Caution
Deks
Olje #1 will stain metal fittings and fiberglass. Be sure to clean
these surfaces before it dries. If Deks Oije #1 has dried on
fiberglass, it can be removed with any paint remover formulated for
use on fiberglass.
DEKS OLJE #2 -
DIRECTIONS
Surface Preparation
| · |
Apply
Deks Olje #1 carefully, following directions. |
| · |
Use Deks
Olje #2 anywhere above waterline and below
deck. |
NOTE: Deks
Olje #2 may be too slippery for a deck, so many boaters prefer
protecting traffic decks with Deks Olje #1 only.
Application over Deks
Olje #1 Treated Surface
| · |
Use a good varnish brush, roller or foam
brush. |
| · |
Apply five or six coats (one per day). |
| · |
Do not apply in damp conditions. |
| · |
For the smoothest finish, lightly wet sand with Deks
Olje #1 and #600 grit paper between coats 5 and
6. |
| · |
Allow good air circulation for
drying. |
To Maintain Deks Olje
#2 Finish
| · |
Once each
year, lightly wet sand using Deks Olje #1 and #600 paper. Wipe
dry and apply one new thin coat of Deks Olje #2. |
| · |
During
the season, lightly wet sand abraded areas as in step 1 and
touch up with one or two coats of Deks Olje #2. |
| · |
Keep
finish free of salt by rinsing with fresh water when
possible. |
| · |
NO NEED
to remove the original Deks Oije #1 and Deks Olje
#2. |
Coverage
No
more than 12 square metres per litre.
Clean-Up
| · |
Brushes
and rollers can be cleaned with Mineral
Turpentine. |
| · |
A rag
soaked in paint thinner will clean adjacent surfaces while
Deks Olje #1 and Deks Olje #2 are still wet. |
| · |
Dried
spills must be removed with paint and varnish remover. Some
are available specifically for
fiberglass. |
Storage
Deks Oije #1 and Deks Olje #2 should be
stored in containers which are completely filled to avoid "jelling"
DO NOT FREEZE.
